Privacy Policy

We respect people’s right to privacy. We therefore want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and share information, and the options available to you.

1 Does This Apply to You?

In certain cases we act as a “joint controller” of your personal information, while in others we act as a “processor”. This privacy policy is relevant when we act as a joint controller, but not when we act as a processor. 

Whenever we act as a processor you should see the controller’s (the property where you saw the ad) privacy policy. For your convenience, here are links to the privacy policies of those controllers: 

2 Definitions

First, here are some terms we use and what they mean:

  1. “Applicable Data Protection Law” means applicable legislation protecting data subjects’ right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data, including but not limited to the GDPR and any local implementation laws.

  2. “Consent”, “Data Subject”, “Personal Data”, “Personal Data Breach”, “Processing”, “Supervisory Authority”, “Controller”, “Processor” and other terms in the GDPR have the same meaning as set out in the GDPR.

  3. “GDPR” means the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, including any future amendments such as, for example, those imposed by the Implementing Decision 914/2021/EU.

Furthermore, Personal Data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals.

An overview of where we process data is found here.

3.6 Security Measures. Adnuntius shall have technical and organizational security measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.

5 Provisions Specific to the Adnuntius Platform

5.1 Adnuntius Technology: Consumer Data. We deliver technologies that enable our customers to activate user information for advertising, analysis and personalization purposes. We use our own and partners’ technologies to deliver this value proposition to our customers.

If our customers are required by Applicable data protection law to inform you about the Personal Data collected and used, we demand that they inform you, and if Applicable Data Protection Law requires it, enable you to opt in our out of being tracked for specific purposes. However, you can also choose whether or not to be tracked by Adnuntius (regardless of domain) here:

5.2 Consent vs legitimate interest. Adnuntius is also compliant with IAB’s Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF2.0), with vendor IDs 855 and 235 (the latter is for our CMP, which we offer to customers). We rely on the following purposes and legal bases for each:

  • Store and/or access information on a device: Consent as sole legal basis.

  • Use limited data to select advertising: Consent or legitimate interest as a legal basis; default legal basis is Legitimate Interest. We allow for legitimate interest as opt-in by default (but allow users to opt out), because the “limited data” we use involves no personally identifiable information. An example of this is information about the page visited, for example keywords, where we identify the content of the page, but do not store any of that information to a user profile. This way advertisements can be targeted to the content of a page, but no information about the user reading the page is used.

  • Create profiles for personalised advertising: Consent as sole legal basis.

  • Use profiles to select personalised advertising: Consent as sole legal basis.

  • Measure advertising performance: Consent or legitimate interest as a legal basis; default legal basis is Legitimate Interest. We allow for legitimate interest as opt-in by default (but allow users to opt out), because the “limited data” we use involves no personally identifiable information. An example of this is counting how many times an ad has been shown on a page (an "ad impression"); we allow this to be counted, as long as it is not connected to any cookie, user or browser.

5.3 Adnuntius Technology: Admin Interface. If you are a customer of Adnuntius and use one of our services, you likely share some information with us such as email address and name for logging into the services. We use this information to authenticate you as a user. All information we gather is described here. If you want us to completely remove your login information, please contact us and provide your name, email and company name.
